"To this day, I still get quoted on the streets from it," Hawk
told Business Insider during an interview at the Success Makers
Summit in April, hosted by American Express OPEN.

Even more importantly, guest-starring on "The Simpsons" showed
Hawk that his personal passion — skateboarding — was gaining
traction among a wider audience.

"It was a tipping point of skateboarding being accepted into the
mainstream in a lot of ways. Even though Bart has always been a
skateboarder per se, it was always considered more of a novelty
or an outcast activity."

"It's still one of the highlights," Hawk said of his guest
appearance. "I can't believe I got to do it."
